Typology of Asian Societies: Bottom-Up Perspective and Evidence-Based Approach
ISBN: 9789811954658 / Angielski / Twarda / 125 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Thus, the book’s position is against Hegel (freedom for one person), Marx (the Asiatic mode of production), Weber (Protestant ethics and the spirit of capitalism), Wittfogel (Asiatic autocracy), and Rostow (Western-led modernization). These classical and modern authors tend to see Asian societies with somewhat fixated eyes and...
